Linkedin has a blog post that ends with this sage advice:

The sagest of which is to ask you to change your password on LinkedIn
itself, *before* actually plugging the hole that led to the passwords
leaking in the first place. Almost as sagely, they're only
invalidating the passwords positively identified as having leaked,
rather than assume all have, despite several security researchers
concluding that the passwords that were posted publically were only a
subset of those that were stolen.
